Of all places, that's where fear had to come. Naturally Pitch Black had a way of pissing Jack Frost off, but this was to a whole new level. He was sitting on one of the balconies of the Toothfairy's headquarters just staring at the orange sky. North had just given them some news of Pitch Black's return and the most probable location. Upon hearing it Jack nearly stormed away from the meeting, he needed to calm down somehow but that would take quite a bit of time.
"Hey, are you okay?" Jack heard a voice from behind him. He didn't need to turn to know who it was.
"Not at all." He grumbled. He heard the footsteps of his friend as she walked towards him. The black figure sat down beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"What are you doing here? That meeting was for guardians only."
"North sent me to do just this, a little consoling." Cue said.
"So they know about her?"
"Oh they've always known about her, and how you feel about her. It became pretty obvious when you kept visiting her palace."
Jack was silent for a moment.
"It had to be her, didn't it?"
"It's going to be okay." she tried to assure him. "If anything it's a little trick of fate."
"What? That this situation would be the first time she has to see me?" he scoffed.
"I know it's not ideal, but it's what you guardians have to do." She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder. "At that point, your love is never really accounted for."
Jack smirked.
"Love? Is that really what you'd call it if it's one sided?"
"It's one sided for now, but that's because she doesn't know." She nearly snapped. "You never know what could happen on this 'quest'."
"Quest?"
"Well 'assignment' sounds like you're going to kill somebody and 'mission' sounds like you're spying." She tried to joke.
"With the nature of this 'quest' I might just have to do both." Jack said while standing up.
"When do you leave?"
"In three days." He said taking his staff. Before he could walk away Cue grabbed his wrist.
"Jack, it'll be okay. I-"
"Don't make promises you can't keep, Cue." He said walking away.
"I was going to say 'I hope you find happiness with Elsa.'"
